Temperature Compensation

When equipped with the Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS), the charge controller

compensates for temperature changes by raising or lowering its charging voltages. However, in

some cases the sensitivity of other DC devices may require this temperature compensation to

be limited. This menu allows the user to manually adjust the upper and lower limits of

temperature compensation. See page 99 for an explanation of compensation. See page 53 for

the FLEXmax RTS Compensation menu.

Battery Equalize

CAUTION: Battery Damage

 Do not equalize any sealed battery types (VRLA, AGM, Gel, or other) unless approved by the

manufacturer. Some batteries may suffer severe damage from equalization.

 Contact the battery manufacturer for recommendations on equalization voltage, duration, schedule,

and/or advisability. Always follow manufacturer recommendations for equalization.

This menu controls the settings for the equalization process, which is used for battery

maintenance. See page 45 for an explanation of equalization and how it relates to the regular

charging process.

Grid-Tie Mode

IMPORTANT:

This mode requires a grid-interactive inverter model (also known as grid-tie enabled). Not all

inverters are grid-interactive. If the system is connected to an inverter that is not grid-

interactive,

Grid-Tie mode will not function if selected.

This menu allows the charge controller to work more effectively with any grid-interactive

inverters present on the HUB. See pages 47, 51, and 104 for more information.
